A familiar name within the local restaurant scene is going to be opening a dining spot of his very own.

Eater Boston confirms what we have been hearing over the past few months, that Jay Murray is planning to open Tusk in Medford Square, with details still coming in on the place, but expect both small plates and family-sized dishes along with local craft beers, an extensive list of wines, and cocktails. Murray, who has worked at Grill 23 in Boston and The Stonehedge Hotel & Spa in Tyngsborough and is currently at Avenue in Medfield, hopes to open the restaurant in the early part of 2018, according to EB.

As soon as we hear of an exact address for Tusk and other details on the place, we will post an update here.
